We all know that the answer is no. He has had ample opportunity to cement himself and prove he is good enough. He simply is not.
That’s ok, not all players in the AFL are considered ‘A grade’. But unfortunately for Sam, we require at least B+ performances given we are firmly in our window, Weid is C-grade at best. Unfortunately we are in a position where we have no one else to push him out of the team, so hopefully he can make the most of this good fortune and I hope he does. But come the end of year, if he wants consistent game time, he needs to get much better (highly unlikely) or seek opportunity elsewhere.
The hunt for premierships is hard fought and we cannot afford anyone dragging us down waiting for them to come good. It’s a ruthless business…………..Sam is not.
